U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer was recently interviewed on MSNBC’s “The Rachael Maddow Show” and said that President Trump was being really dumb to fight with the intelligence agencies. “They have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” he said.

The animus is so elevated that even the alarming significance of this admission failed to draw attention from the media.

To hear this from a U.S. senator suggests a chilling flaw in our system.

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
